The idea that homophobia in the Black community would be eliminated by eliminating Christianity is incorrect.

It comes from poverty. When material conditions for a community are destitution, you will more intensely patriarchy which often leads to….

@OGBlackRedGuard Warned me about what? That when I see a homeless gay black teenager on the street whose life was ruined by religious dogma, I should stay quiet because the specific dogma is a Black church? I'd rather suffer 10 million angry notifs

@hankfrackett @theatheistomar Evangelicals are both statistically not as affluent and educated as atheists who in turn are statistically not as affluent and educated as mainline Protestants

@SquintFeastwood It’s insane to me that Marx could say confidently in the 19th Century that no matter how backward India was, British colonialism was catastrophically destructive and only undermined India’s development by robbery, whereas some Desis today rehabilitate British colonialism.

@peresuslog @Ram3640 @Noahpinion Leftism is international championing of the marginalized. Who is marginalized varies by region.

@SquintFeastwood There is actually a leftist term for this

@Y40IFRQTTING That’s very much Biblical imagery, the Song of Solomon is even considered included for that reason.

Also perhaps why arguing with God and constantly comparing to him is a recurring motif.

@hankfrackett @theatheistomar In fact I would go so far as to say for the more affluent and educated Christians in American, mainline Protestants, supporting gay rights is considered a religious obligatory. They fly the rainbow flag on their churches all the time and value it perhaps more than the cross.

@hankfrackett @theatheistomar Religion probably correlates more with being uneducated and/or impoverished. If we control for that, I would wager good money that on average, affluent and educated Christians are less homophobic than uneducated and impoverished people who are irreligious

@hankfrackett @theatheistomar They don’t hate gays enough to physically harm them and often try to maintain friendships with them, they view it on the level of smoking weed

[𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭 @ModerateCommie]

@hankfrackett @theatheistomar We’re talking about Black Church households. But every Christian I have met who would kick their kids out, has an intense hatred of gays that doesn’t need religion. People who *only* oppose homosexuality out of religion are generally benign in their view of it

@Zegroe911 Yeah. Lenin says explicitly that surplus value extraction is part of socialism to fund social programs, disability and retirement.

Do you even read your books? Rothbard says Zionism is incompatible with anarcho-capitalism.

@fl3urs Irl Jews just look like white people unless they dress religiously

[𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭 @ModerateCommie]

@hankfrackett @theatheistomar I have yet to meet a single Christian who follows 99% of what the Gospels teach. The only things that are really followed are things which are established norms in the society they inhabit. I don’t believe religion is much more than a box for the values of a ruling class.

[𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭 @ModerateCommie]

@hofeshyehudi In the west, Judaism continually puts on a victim face to get sympathy and support for a state that would be considered pagan and apostate and hated by God by Jews historically. He accentuates the hypocrisy of Judaism. Which is funny.

[𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭 @ModerateCommie]

@Angibntur There is no reservoir of spiritual devotion. Marxist analysis of religion is that it is a form of escapism, and that it used to propagate the ideology of those in power. Marxism never posits that those functions cannot be performed by other mediums

@Jef_The_Leftist She wasn’t suggesting that atheism is white but the idea that leftists are persecuting atheists is very “white people” because it is.

[𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭 @ModerateCommie]

@theatheistomar Religion has declined in the west primarily because they’ve started adopting alternative voice boxes.

[𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭 @ModerateCommie]

@theatheistomar Standing up to religion is a duty of all Marxists. But trying to lay the blame for many social maladies at the foot of religion is often putting the cart before the horse. Religion is primarily the voicebox of class interests using God or holy figures as puppets
